Fashion blacklist taken down over alleged death threats

A so-called fashion “blacklist” — compiled on the Instagram account @S–tModelMgmt of photographers, agents and stylists anonymously accused of sexual misconduct — has been taken down.

The move comes after journalist Moira Donegan revealed in January that she was the woman behind the controversial “S - - tty Media Men” list that warned women in the industry about creeps, womanizers and abusers.

The anonymous author of @S–tModelMgmt posted Monday, “I’m getting too many death threats and threats to ‘find my family’ and ‘make me sorry I did this.’ ” The person also claimed “psycho photogs think they’re Sherlock Holmes and are harassing innocent girls because they think they are behind this account.”

But, “I’m still not sorry for protecting models from future negative experiences . . . I’m not the kind of person to stay silent. Creeps in the fashion industry: Be afraid. Watch yourself. Because the truth will always come out. Models: Be brave. Be bold. F - - k the consequences. Name your abuser.”

Other feeds have been created to try to name and intimidate the anonymous “blacklist” Instagrammer.
